Sure, but what is your point?

Is there something in Premillenial theology which would ~necessarily~ require one to reject that possiblity?

Understanding your Clintonesque tendency to hyper parse peoples statements, I will clarify my latest post:

Is there something in Premillennial theology which would ~necessarily~ require one to reject the possiblity that there might be 10,000,000 years between Christ's 1st Coming and Christ's 2nd Coming?

You said that the gap for amills is considered to be the millennium. You also said, Interestingly, one of your arguments against amillennialism is that if the millennium is now, then that means that Christ has reigned for more than "1000" years.

I said that that is not one of my arguments. I said that I know that amills consider that gap could be of variable length according to God's choosing.

Now I understand you to be asking me a different question. You are asking me how long premills think the gap between the 1st and 2nd resurrections will be.

We think that gap is spelled out in Revelation as 1000 years with some discussion about the 7 year tribulation and some discussion about the period of Satan's final rebellion which the bible calls for a "short time."

Did that answer your question?
